Answer:

This solution has a pH of 11.20

Explanation:

HNO3 is a strong acid known to ionize completely in solution. Being a strong acid, a low pH value is expected. As expected, an acid will display the following properties:

This solution could dissolve metal.

This solution could neutralize a base.

This solution would turn litmus to red.

The pH of this solution is obtained from -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.6 × 10-3)= 2.796

Hence the statement; This solution has a pH of 11.20 is not correct.
